An Evolving Map Unifying the Continent's Fashion Industry
In February, Clearly Invincible introduced the African Fashion Weeks Calendar. A curated, centralised resource that tracks key fashion weeks across the continent. Now, with an updated edition: a refined and expanded version that reflects new entries, improved accuracy, and broader regional representation.
The calendar is a centralised resource for designers, media, enthusiasts, and sponsors, providing vital information for event planning, fashion coverage, and collaborations. With a growing focus on eco-conscious fashion and industry contributions, it serves as an essential tool for keeping track of Africa's fast-growing fashion scene.
This update highlights fashion weeks across North, West, East, Central, Southern Africa and in Diaspora. Each inclusion is guided by a clear set of criteria designed to spotlight events that are actively shaping the fashion landscape.
Our primary criteria for the selected fashion weeks are:
Consistent operations (for certain fashion weeks, we’ve taken into account infrastructural challenges that may have led to brief pauses)
Quality in the show’s production
Overall contribution to the circulating of Africa’s fashion economy
Support for eco-conscious fashion and responsible production
Why this calendar matters
Fashion in Africa is no longer emerging. It is establishing itself as the new face of global luxury. From Lagos to Nairobi to Tunis, designers are reimagining what high fashion looks like and where it comes from. Yet while the creativity is undeniable, the infrastructure is still catching up. This calendar is part of an effort to change that. By centralising information and increasing visibility, we’re helping strengthen the foundation needed to support Africa’s fashion economy.
